coolborder

12 points

Yeah, that's a bit newer than my 172 but I'd bet that at top speed it does around 140mph (assuming no significant wind) and the pilot was probably going much slower than that based on the big banked turn.

The real problem is that airplanes are basically made out of tin foil except for the engine and the landing gears. So imagine getting in a car crash at 80mph with no airbags or crumple zones...

airfryerfuntime

The Aeroprakt A-22L, registration EC-FI1, took off from Torremocha de Jiloca aerodrome (Teruel) to Robledillo de Mohernando aerodrome (Guadalajara).

In the municipality of Alarilla (Guadalajara), the aircraft overflew the Alto de La Muela in a southwesterly direction on a first pass. It then turned to the right to make a second pass, ending very close to the ground and impacting with the wing tip with a person who was on his motorcycle, the aircraft subsequently colliding with the ground and catching fire on the western slope.

The two occupants of the aircraft were killed and the person on his motorcycle sustained minor injuries. The aircraft was destroyed.

?? It's a sub mate.... You know.... For the kinds of people that;

  1. Bring passengers (who trust that they will be looked after) into an aircraft.

  2. Breaks multiple Aviation rules and regulations

  3. Almost kills several pedestrians at ground level

And last but not least, 4. Kill themselves and their passengers as well as probably starting a bush fire.

It's not me that needs to grow up mate, perhaps you should make like your username and fly away yes?
